Spamming

My english  club is a wonderful get away from it all.We do not rush to the classroom  but to a social  and enjoyable atmosphere

Naturally a site big  as ours, with an enormous number of membership coming in daily , is prone to the eyes of vices. 

People who are not interested in the language learning , try to wriggle their way in to the club and contact  innocent members.

Beware . When we members inform the admistration they try  their best to keep it inorder  by deletion .

Thanks to  the-members and staff these elements are detected and thrown out , yet  they never give up  and persist using differnt new addresses,

To help  the admistration in keeping MyEC the social  and educational link, members beware of 

Typical spammers and scammers:


  • leave notes on walls, groups and inboxes with links to external sites that are unrelated to English learning
  • leave many identical notes in a short period of time
  • often include and/or request an email address
  • invite members to contact them off site
  • make generous offers such as a chance to work in an English-speaking country

Their usual objective is to make money from unsuspecting members. Please watch out for these scams and report them immediately to the Administration!





For example I am posting one spam note from an individual/s  continously in period of time.

no matter how many times they are deleted by the administration , through members observation, they bounce back !

How to report the member? You can report a member : 

first --->Go to the member's page,

second --->Click on the Report a Member link.

 

This is the right way to get the correct address for the reported member ...

  • Thank you Nadira,

    in actuality, I am fearing of making welcoming or accepting new members.

    As if I don't want to have friend anymore, MyEC is growing but I am happy with my old friends, we have to be selective because writing comment is not just say hello, when time passes you collect many memory with real friends.

    So, MyEC is not a social club to speak english to me, it also includes so much meanings. We can load ourselves it before you know it.

    Good Luck to find right person for improving your language,

    -Selma-

     

  • Dear Nadira! Thank you for this useful and helpful information.

                    GOOD WARNING  and IN TIME!.

  • @Lynne Bob and I followed her in her previous name Miss Rose and the link she was offering was  something beyond an educational site .
  • I received one like that but I honestly never had thought that she's a spammer. I thought she's just one of us here. I just posted my comment to her on my own page and when I came back her post was removed already... she must have removed it herself. She posted the exact message you have here on display. Funny though and I just felt that her message is out of the ordinary. And had told her that I think she's contacting the wrong person. ^_^...
    Thanks for this information Nadira, now I know that this is uncommon.
    I just wonder what will happen if somebody followed her. :)
    Wonderful blog!
    Thanks again.
    -Lynne-
  • @Bob

    I remember only too well, it was your good self who alerted about Miss Rose  fromSengal and we did some detective work about the source, respectivley.

    Thank you sir :)

  • Very good information.  I agree that immediate reporting is best.  I have seen this one before, but she was "in a refugee camp at the time".  The worst part is that these are usually found trying to prey on new members who do not yet know how the club works.  Those who want to help can watch the other comments when welcoming new members.
  • thank you
  • Dear Nadira,

    Do we have a group of picketing spamming in MyEC? If so, please kindly let me know, I will join it.

    Thank you!

  • thnk you nadira for informing us
  • Thank you for the information. Yes you are right and I received the last few days a comment on my wall like that. I was so surprised that an unknown person can say such nice words to someone he/she didn't know.

    Now that I've understood the purpose I will be more cautious.

    Thank you dear.
